NASA, ESA Astronauts Wrap Up Station Spacewalk


NASA astronaut Anil Menon and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at __ p.m. EDT.

NASA astronaut Anil Menon and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot began a spacewalk at 8:29 a.m. EDT outside the International Space Station to replace a Space-to-Ground antenna on the International Space Station.

NASA is streaming live coverage as two astronauts prepare for a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The spacewalk is scheduled to last about six and a half hours.

The Expedition 75 crew has completed preparations and mission managers are go for a spacewalk to swap out a high-speed antenna outside the International Space Station on Tuesday. Meanwhile, there was still time on Monday’s research schedule for cardiac research, artificial intelligence tests, and Earth observations.

Expedition 75 ended the week studying Canadarm2 robotic arm maneuvers and reviewing procedures for a spacewalk to support the removal and replacement of a space-to-ground antenna on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Science remained on Friday’s schedule as the International Space Station residents studied space exercise techniques, explored aerodynamic drag forces, and more.

The Expedition 75 crew continued studying procedures and checking out spacesuits on Thursday for a spacewalk to replace a high-speed antenna on the outside of the International Space Station next week. High-tech science rounded out the schedule as the lab residents wore virtual reality goggles and tested artificial intelligence tools to benefit future space crews.

Spacewalk preparations are ongoing aboard the International Space Station as two astronauts gear up to replace a high-speed antenna next week. The Expedition 75 crew members also practiced their emergency response skills in coordination with mission controllers on Earth.

Vein scans and spacesuit checks were the top duties for the Expediton75 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The orbital residents also continued their Earth photography sessions, cargo operations, and life support maintenance.

The next spacewalk outside the International Space Station is set to take place on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Two Expedition 75 astronauts will work in the vacuum of space to replace a space-to-ground antenna to maintain high-speed data and communication transmissions between the orbital outpost and mission controllers.

On Aug. 6, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon concluded a 6-hour, 27-minute spacewalk outside the International Space Station. Meir and Menon successfully completed their primary objective of preparing the 3B power channel for the future installation of a roll out solar array. Toward the end of the spacewalk, a carbon dioxide sensor on Menon’s spacesuit indicated an unexpected data reading. Menon reported no other issues during the spacewalk.
